Now, why would I want to do that? Cloud resources can be expensive; I have to depend on a third party for some of my most important applications; performance may suffer; my data ends up outside my organization…all valid concerns. Which likely explains why most HPC continues to be hosted in-house. But another question is, is it even an option to effectively leverage the cloud for clustered computing? How do I extend my on-premise cluster to cloud servers and still manage them as a single cluster?

Germany is the largest technology market in Europe, according to Germany Trade & Invest, and accounts for 24.5% of all technology purchases in the region. By comparison the UK accounts for 17.3% and France accounts for 15.6%.

In recent months, I have had many meaningful conversations with new and existing Bright customers and partners, about OpenStack.

Spark'ing Scope Creep

I had the fortunate opportunity to present in the disruptive-technology track at the 2015 Rice Oil and Gas HPC Workshop during the first week of March. What I presented during my two-minute drill in this session ended up being much more disruptive than I anticipated.

As with many industries, the pharmaceutical sector is trending towards cloud bursting, so if you need more digital space, more compute power, or more storage, don’t pay for an onsite solution—look to the cloud! And cloud bursting plays to the increasingly popular subscription-based “pay per use” business model with which we are becoming increasingly familiar. 

It’s been well documented that Bright can help you easily create new clusters in the cloud, or add cloud-based resources to your existing clusters on the fly.
